Great stuff, can you do me a favour and post back if you have any issues with it going from a FTA chan after 10 mins to an encrypted one and the chan not unscrambling?

Thanks

Cheers, sounds like the box you have is ok and not suffering from the probs others have seen, seems to be the early batches of these with the issue, tuner or chip or both, thats causing them not clear chans

I just picked up a Ferguson 150 and I'm wondering if 1.20B6 (Nov release) is the best patched firmware for the receiver ?
Does the 150 work better with Newcamd than CCCam ,similar to the 120 ?
Many thanks guys

Fano there is a later patched release

Added Mycam sharingu protocol over UDP - details in the file: mycam.pdf
- Unlocked Grooveshark
- Plus other minor fixes

A150Combo_20121213_1.21B4

Newcamd is the better, but have found if your line supplier is taking a Nline from OSCAM it causes hassle with the box clearing chans as i mentioned in previous posts on here, the NLINE has to come from NEWCAMD setup, not OSCAM or CCAM, finally found the issue with what was happening with mine

Thanks Mickah ,good work on finding the cause of the problem.
How does CCCam perform on these boxes ,is it similar to the 120 where it becomes unstable afer ~2 hours of operation.

Not good mate, the CCAM is an older version, V1.0 i think and newcamd is old also, but newcamd is the better, the box works well once on a proper NLINE

CCam gets twitchy, glitching every 15 sec cycle, again just what I found, others may differ, but its the general opinion about CCAM on these

Hi Mickah
I tested my 150 today with 1.21b4 and it worked perfectly taking an N line from my Oscam server .
It switched perfectly from fta to encryped channel ,even after 30-35 minutes.
Looking at the Oscam server webinterface the 150 was logged in at all times and never timed out .
Newcamd on the box seems very stable .Weird.

Hi guys.
I just bought this box and everything was ok with this patch.
However sudenlly my box stop working and a got a message on the led 'ash'.
Can i revover the original firmware with null modem cable?
By the way ... i want to locally conect this box to my dream500 hd via CCcam.
Can you help me configure my box?

Is there any thread that might help me?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you need to install the original f/w with a null cale - you must have uploaded the wrong software 4 the box.

I dont know the answer to ur 2nd question

Hi lads,
I just flashed the ariva 120 box with the patched firmware for my dad, and now I want to do the same with my own 150, is there anything that I need to look out for when doing the 150 box. Thanks.
